Abstract:

 During the recent years, social networks have proliferated on the internet and are becoming increasingly popular. They are achieving an unusual success especially among youth and also among professionals looking to expand their professional network. The social networks are indeed a great way to create opportunities for their career. However, these social networks seem to hide another benefit rarely emphasized: they facilitate the learning of foreign languages, particularly English. Often criticized as being responsible for the impoverishment of language by the massive use of abbreviations and shortcuts of any kind, yet they prove to be effective additions to the language learning process.
